moved again – can i settle down sometime?

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

so i have officially moved again – for very real – change of address and all – me and eric are living together finally and its amazing – we live in crown heights and are off a bunch of different train lines – the A C 3 and the LIRR – needless to say its great!

the thing is – i just moved – and am feeling really exhausted by the whole process of putting everything i own into boxes and having to deal with the shit under your bed that you put there so that you dont have to deal with it – so here is my top five most annoying things about moving -

1 – PACKING YOUR LIFE UP – i dont want to be reminded of the garbage of life – i really dont

2 – the change of address – bills – important things stuff – dont even get me started

3 – the mess – jesus how did i live with all this dust in my life

4 – the stuff you need to buy again and again – trash cans?  plungers? ugh

5 – putting furniture together – can’t we just buy new ones that are already together and delivered to the spot i want them in?

….

and because i am trying this positivity thing – here is my top five great things about moving – because the process sucks but the end result is in fact awesome

1 – you actually get to do a good clean and purge and at the end of the day that feels great

2 – new stuff is kind of cool – i secretly like shopping for the house

3 – a chance to reorganize your life – move your furniture and get out of that old rut you were in is really good for the soul!

4 – i have two kitties now – i know terence is sad but its better than reality tv

5 – ERIC is here ALL THE TIME – nothing like nesting – its melting my little heart

i bike now!

5 things i have realized since moving back to NY

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

1 – New York is a fucking crazy city – it really is – there arent just a few random strange things going on here – there is always some crazy shit going down – some guy yelling on the subway – some horse cop freaking out and running a muck in traffic in the city – some fucking guy walking around with a snake on his neck on a wednesday afternoon – you see fucking insane shit here ALL THE TIME and you just have to get used to it

2 – this city smells fucking awful – seriously – how on earth did i not notice how bad it was when i lived here before

3 – new yorkers are in love with themselves – this is pretty obvious but hilarious to realize once again

4 – new yorkers LOVE to fight – and fight they will – they YELL and PUNCH and PUSH and go fucking crazy at the drop of a dime – I saw two OLD OLD men with grey hair get in a fist fight around the corner from my house – i kind of secretly love this one – i totally fight with people all the time and definitely punched the window of an SUV that almost ran me over the other than and proceeded to have a screaming match with him for 5 minutes – AWESOME

5 – this city is filled with gorgeous people – period
